As much as Nexstar is hoping for their "Peter Arnett" moment with NewsNation, they're still going about this wrong. (For anyone who doesn't know, he was the star of CNN's Gulf War coverage that pretty much put them on the map as a legitimate news source all those years ago!) Instead of trying to ram it down the station's throats as an alternative to regular programming, it needs to be an addition. Put it on a sub-channel. Get it out there on OTT. But don't pre-empt your own programming for what could be redundant coverage (once the networks kick in)...Thankfully, few stations are going this route and wisely are sticking to their regular programming. And ironically, NewsNation is in usual morning mode right now, being their former WGN America self at the moment (with In The Heat Of The Night)

In Toledo, Melissa Voetsch announced her retirement from TV news. She worked at WTOL as an anchor from the late 1980s through 2012’ish, when she left quietly after facing some heart issues. She then resurfaced at WTVG where she was a reporter since 2014. Facebook Post

Wow, I can't believe they featured their competition. Great to see Don Harrison, later of WTSP and Headline News!

Between this and Al Michaels possibly leaving NBC, this could be the offseason where only CBS's top NFL broadcasting team remains intact. This would exceed even the 2002 offseason in the number of changes in the top broadcast teams.
